Before You Publish
Three quick checks help make the copied template ready for your audience.
-
Define the Work Phases
Adapt Discovery, Design and Delivery to the work you plan. Keep the hour units visible and explain what each phase includes. Enter zero for a phase that is outside the project.
-
Check the Planning Assumptions
With 10, 20 and 30 phase hours, a 20% buffer adds 12 hours for a total of 72. At 24 project hours per week, that is 3 weeks. The same weekly capacity is assumed throughout; dependencies and waiting time can extend the schedule.
-
Test a Planning Estimate
Publish a copy and submit a sample estimate. Check the four saved results in Responses, including extra time in hours. Test zero effort, no buffer and half-hour inputs. Review team availability before agreeing dates.
